    You’re right, apologies, I fucked up there. Changed it to democratic socialism (still not an expert!).

    At the most basic level, employees at a workplace would elect their management, rather than management being chosen by the business owner/s.

    I posted this link to another comment, it’s from a guy who runs a really good youtube channel that’s definitely worth checking out. I know being asked to watch a video sucks, but he explains it a million times better than I can.

      You’re talking about workplace democracy, and are linking a video by a Marxist-Leninist to explain the communist conception of socialism as a transition to communism, as is found in Cuba, Vietnam, the PRC, etc. This isn’t a video by a socdem or demsoc.

        For clarity, OP is confusing Marxism-Leninism (Second Thought is a communist) for “democratic socialism.” Marxism-Leninism is democratic, but is nothing like the Nordic model.
